Laboratory Medicine Practice Guidelines

Publication Date: 2010

The objective of this document is to establish practice guidelines for application of pharmacogenetics (PGx) in the practice of laboratory medicine. It presents evidence supporting the application of PGx testing to general clinical practice and specific areas of medical practice. The committee provides guidance for PGx testing in specific clinical settings; defines potential links in the roles of PGx and therapeutic drug monitoring in clinical settings; formulates recommended guidelines for clinical laboratories introducing pharmacogenetic tests; and provides in vitro diagnostic companies guidance on clinical assays and their performance characteristics in PGx testing.
